 On recent balmy Sunday afternoon two men and boy, from these parts, thought they would call on StiIlman Dun han, who lives just over the Mansfield line not far from the old Joseph Hall place. A short time after they had left the house MT. Stillman missed his watch, which had been lying in the room where he had been entertaining his visitors. Subsequently, on his confronting them with his loss, they each and all resolutely denied all know ledge of the missing chattel. Last Thurs day the indignant host of that, to him, eventful day applied to o. T. Preston to make out the necessary complaint for larcen- cy, together with the warrant, for the prop CT authorities ill Mansfield to sign to cause the arrest of one of the men, William Mur- ray, who had in the meantime disposed of the watch, worth about $12, to Frank Rid CT for 50 cents. We have not learned of the result. On that same peaceful Sabbath afternoon Chas. H. Rider had his hennery, which he had just built in his pasture some distance from his house, dispoiled of it's eggs.
